The object of this Act is to ensure a high standard of public health protection throughout Australia and New Zealand by means of the establishment and operation of a joint body to be known as Food Standards Australia New Zealand to achieve the following goals: (a) a high degree of consumer confidence in the quality and safety of food produced, processed, sold or exported from Australia and New Zealand; (b) an effective, transparent and accountable regulatory framework within which the food industry can work efficiently; © the provision of adequate information relating to food to enable consumers to make informed choices; (d) the establishment of common rules for both countries and the promotion of consistency between domestic and international food regulatory measures without reducing the safeguards applying to public health and consumer protection.
The object of this Act is to provide for the compliance of food imported into Australia with Australian food standards and the requirements of public health and safety.
Our imported food laws include: Imported Food Control Act 1992 Imported Food Control Order 2019 Imported Food Control Regulations 2019. This legislation establishes our Imported Food Inspection Scheme (IFIS). It also sets out the compliance requirements for imported food.
Through our scheme, we inspect imported food to check it: - meets Australian requirements for public health and safety - complies with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code - complies with the Country of Origin Food Labelling Information Standard 2016
All food sold in Australia and New Zealand must comply with food standards. These standards are compiled in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. The Code is authorised by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991.
